Lilac Bulldogs start out black, then diluted, not once
but twice by the chocolate gene, then the blue gene.
The [bb] allele dilutes the black to brown, and [dd]
dilutes the black to blue. Try mixing blue and brown
paint, you will get some shade of Purple/Lilac. The
Lilac should be shiny and look weimerainer gray (or some
shade of purple/lilac) against black objects or in the
sun unless it is the Seal Color. The nose,
eyeliner, & pads are some shade of purple.

In the case of the Lilac Fawn, although the HAIR is not diluted by the
[bb,dd] genes, the pigment in the nose, foot pads, and
eyeliner is diluted to purple which can vary in shade.
It is sad that we have no other choice with the
available AKC Codes, than to register our Lilac Bulldogs
with the same codes as the Blue.
